Agriculture and direct marketing
Farm Shop and Egg Vending Machines
Your customers come after work and on Sundays, when the farm shop is closed. A vending machine sells eggs, milk, meat and vegetables around the clock, chilled and with cashless payment. For farms, butchers, beekeepers and wineries.
What counts on the farm
- Cooling per compartment
- Eggs, dairy products and meat need different temperatures. Refrigerated and freezer vending machines hold the values and report deviations.
- Gentle dispensing
- Vending machines with a lift lower the product instead of dropping it. Important for eggs and jars.
- Installed outdoors
- Outdoor units with a heated housing stand at the farm entrance, in winter and summer alike.
- Card payment
- No cash in the vending machine sitting on the farm overnight. You can see your takings in the payment provider’s customer portal.

Combine and expand
Refrigerated lift vending machines are suitable for eggs and fresh produce. For meat and sausage, add a freezer vending machine. Many farms place two units side by side under a canopy.
Permits and installation
In Germany, you usually do not need a special permit on your own land, but you do for installation in public spaces and for certain foods. What to consider is explained in the guide Setting up a vending machine.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an egg vending machine cost?
Our TCN-CEL-11L egg vending machine with lift and cooling is available from €8,500 net, newly built, plus €300 shipping. It has 60 compartments and a 32-inch touchscreen. If you also want to offer dairy products, sausage or vegetables, add a fresh food vending machine or choose one instead.
Does an egg vending machine pay off for my farm?
That depends on how many customers come by outside your opening hours and how much you earn per sale. With our calculator you can see how many sales per day it takes for the vending machine to pay for itself, with all costs from goods to depreciation.
Can eggs be sold from a vending machine?
Yes, with cooling and a lift. Observe the labelling requirements for eggs from direct marketing.
What happens in a power cut?
The cooling fails, as with any refrigerator. Telemetry reports the outage so that you can check the goods in good time.
How long does delivery take?
8 weeks from receipt of payment. Every vending machine is built to your configuration. Before shipping, you will see photos of your vending machine in your customer account.
